A review by abbywebb
Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy
4.0
Another great book by Binchy. This one started slow with Father Flynn, but it picked up after the first chapter. Every subsequent chapter, except for one in the middle and the final one, were narrated by two different characters that were related in one capacity or another. The switching of characters within and across chapters gave the feeling of reading a series of short stories; however, in true Binchy style, the characters are all interrelated in some way. The chapters about Father Flynn introduce the story's characters and provide endings for them as well.
This was a sweet and light novel, again cleverly written as always. Binchy has a great way with words and a great mind for developing characters by providing them with intriguing plots and backgrounds. I really have no idea where she finds influence for some of the characters she has created in this book and all the others she has written. She has a marvelous talent for writing and I hope she keeps creating such interesting works for us to read!
